uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יְהִ֣י

and=he/it_was

The author is using the phrase And it happened to introduce a new development in this event. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new development. See how you translated the phrase in the similar context in [2:9](../02/09.md).

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,month the=seventh he/it_came Yishmāˊ^ʼēl/(Ishmael) son_of Nətan^yāh son_of ʼElīshāˊma one,of_the_offspring_of the=royalty and,ten men with=him/it and,they_struck_down DOM Gədal^yāh and=he/it_died and=DOM the,Judeans and=DOM the=\add >ones\add*_from_Kasdiy which/who they_were with=him/it at,Mizpah )

If your language would not represent a number in a form such as seventh, you could represent these numbers in a form that your language would use. Alternate translation: [in month seven]

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and they also struck and killed the Judeans and the Chaldeans]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אֶת־הַ⁠יְּהוּדִים֙

and=DOM and=DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was in,month the=seventh he/it_came Yishmāˊ^ʼēl/(Ishmael) son_of Nətan^yāh son_of ʼElīshāˊma one,of_the_offspring_of the=royalty and,ten men with=him/it and,they_struck_down DOM Gədal^yāh and=he/it_died and=DOM the,Judeans and=DOM the=\add >ones\add*_from_Kasdiy which/who they_were with=him/it at,Mizpah )

Since the author says in the next verse that “all the people” fled to Egypt after this, he does not mean here that Ishmael and his men killed all of the “people having been left in the land of Judah” mentioned in verse 22 who were living in the area of Mizpah. Rather, he is using the term Judeans to mean people who were serving the Babylonians with Gedaliah in his government. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. The UST models one way to do that.
